Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Irrigation

His main research concerns Agronomy, Irrigation, Evapotranspiration, Water-use efficiency and Hydrology. His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Transpiration. Shaozhong Kang has included themes like Greenhouse, Lysimeter and Yield in his Irrigation study.

Shaozhong Kang usually deals with Evapotranspiration and limits it to topics linked to Mulch and Linear regression. His work deals with themes such as Water use, Soil water, Stomatal conductance, Surface irrigation and Water content, which intersect with Water-use efficiency. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Arid, Eddy covariance and Spatial variability.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of limited irrigation on yield and water use efficiency of winter wheat in the Loess Plateau of China (333 citations)
  • Effects of limited irrigation on yield and water use efficiency of winter wheat in the Loess Plateau of China (333 citations)
  • Controlled alternate partial root-zone irrigation: its physiological consequences and impact on water use efficiency (330 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Shaozhong Kang mainly investigates Evapotranspiration, Irrigation, Agronomy, Hydrology and Water content. His work carried out in the field of Evapotranspiration brings together such families of science as Arid, Canopy, Eddy covariance and Transpiration. Much of his study explores Irrigation relationship to Horticulture.

His research brings together the fields of Stomatal conductance and Agronomy. Shaozhong Kang works mostly in the field of Hydrology, limiting it down to topics relating to Vineyard and, in certain cases, Bowen ratio, as a part of the same area of interest. His Water content study incorporates themes from Water balance, Soil water and Infiltration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Evapotranspiration (56.33%)
  • Irrigation (51.53%)
  • Agronomy (48.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Irrigation (51.53%)
  • Agronomy (48.47%)
  • Evapotranspiration (56.33%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Shaozhong Kang focuses on Irrigation, Agronomy, Evapotranspiration, Arid and Soil water. His Irrigation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fertilizer, Stomatal conductance, Water content, Abiotic component and Soil salinity. Agronomy is often connected to Transpiration in his work.

In his work, Hydrology is strongly intertwined with Canopy, which is a subfield of Transpiration. Shaozhong Kang studies Evapotranspiration, namely Crop coefficient. His studies deal with areas such as Agriculture, Agricultural productivity, Crop yield, Biomass and Stage as well as Arid.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Interactive Regimes of Reduced Irrigation and Salt Stress Depressed Tomato Water Use Efficiency at Leaf and Plant Scales by Affecting Leaf Physiology and Stem Sap Flow. (12 citations)
  • Responses of water accumulation and solute metabolism in tomato fruit to water scarcity and implications for main fruit quality variables (11 citations)
  • Annual ecosystem respiration of maize was primarily driven by crop growth and soil water conditions (9 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Shaozhong Kang mostly deals with Irrigation, Evapotranspiration, Agronomy, Arid and Eddy covariance. His research in Irrigation is mostly focused on Water-use efficiency. His Evapotranspiration research includes elements of Linear model, Stability, Mean squared error, Statistics and Akaike information criterion.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Water scarcity and Xylem in addition to Agronomy. His Eddy covariance research incorporates elements of Soil water and Leaf area index. His research in Transpiration intersects with topics in Canopy, Greenhouse and Water content.
